Some streets and intersections.
.
.
Everyone knows Saul and his La Palapa roadside cafe south of townl..or will if you are driving the Baja Highway. Grrrrreat food and
a smiling host.
Xavier's Las Casitas Restaurant and Motel. Just one block from the town square. Another Mulege legend and a fine dinner menu with
Xavier at the kitchen's helm. Plus..some very nice decor and ambiance. We had dinner there a few nights ago and were treated to a great flamenco
guitarist. Gracias, my old friend.
I ducked into several tiendas to check out their wares. I'm sure this gal thought I was following her into Claudia y Miguel's La
Tienda, one of Mulege's great places to spend some pesos. In here you will find many quality items..a cut above the normal stores.
.
Need an overnight RV site with full hookups..or longer? Try Marybelle's place.
.
.
Do me a favor? Drive out the north river road and pay my bar bill at Tim's El Patron. Seriously, you will be glad you did. The
ambiance, the seaside view, the food, the dog sleeping under your table, all make this a must see when in Mulege.
.
.
I always have to make 2 stops at Saul's Market...one for groceries..and the second to check out the Poster Window. For sale - Wanted - Announcements
- Somebody may have found my car keys - Etc
.
Mulege people are clearly herd animals and like the town square.
.
.
.
NO..I WILL NOT TELL YOU WHERE THIS SALE IS GOING ON.
.
.
This newer tortilla factory is next door to Mely's cafe at the town entrance. On the right..follow your nose.
These ARE on my diet, right dear?

Once again - FANTASTIC! Having run in to Mulege several times in my online search for a place to winter ( or maybe full time), I've been curious ,
and somewhat apprehensive, about the details - places to eat, shop for food, repair shops, hardware etc. Your pics ( and the fact that you like to
eat LoL) sure tell alot! My mind is set on Bahia Concepcion now. Mulege seems ideal and beautiful. I was planning a 2 week excursion to check it
out, but that may have to be put off, but I plan on being there right after hurricane season. I truly appreciate this photo essay, much better than
any books out there ( or websites). Garcias!

A wonderful place. Except for those unfortunate folks who put their bets on housing cerca del rio.

Lots of new construction and riverfront homes
Funny how adversity often brings out the best in people. I own homes along water..couldn't live without it. Two flood
regulary. One is at above-record flood stage right now..along the Red River at Minnesota/ND border. FOX News is reporting on it every other hour.
Hey,.. CNN and MSNBC gave it about 2 minutes the other day, too. Gotta love those guys.
Here's some photos from the other day along the river in Mulege.
Lots of these places are fixed up now..and are for sale. Mine are not. I wish great good luck to those who want to sell their waterfront homes...and
great good luck to those who will buy them and spend some very happy years in Mulege.
Always research carefully before buying, folks..after that it's a crap shoot.
.
.
.
.
That's just a few. Maybe next trip in to town I'll take a ride along the rio and post some more. Now it's time for Ana's and chicken tostados.
Hasta luego..

Hola Irene. Indeed I have stayed at Posada don Diego Park at couple times in the past, although it has been many
years since I stopped that soon on my southbound route. I do recall it as being a very pleasant stay. Thanks for the reminder and I'll be sure to
enjoy it again when I'm in my motorhome or fiver.

MULEGE
.
At one time in Mulege, an average tourist would have to shop all over the place to score all the items on a grocery list.
Nowadays I could do it all in one store.
But I don't.
It's too damn much fun hitting ALL the Mulege hodgepodge of tiendas. It's not about the shopping...
.
.
Do not forget to drink purified water. It's good for you.
(That will be 10 pesos per word. Gracias, amigo)
.
.
Need a motel room in Mulege? We have many available in all price ranges. Here's one near the 'Y'..the turnoff from the highway to downtown. I
stayed there one nght a couple years ago after flying from Up North to Loreto to retrieve up a motorhome at mi casa. It was August and way too
scorching-hot to stay in the Bay, so I got a nice COOL room at this motel. It was a life-saver, believe me.
How hot was that, you ask?
Well, damn hot. It was so hot that..
..the birds had to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
..the trees were whistling for the dogs.
.
.
There is little truth to the rumor that the town is going to the dogs...
...except in some circles.

Mulege Walkabout
Thanks, Pompano, for the latest pix.
The doggies and I climb all over those hills for exercise.
There are wonderful, obscure little footpaths all over the Mulege hills right in town that you can wander up, up, up to get a fabulous view of the
pueblo, even the mesas far out to the west which divide the peninsula. You'll marvel at the beautiful little casas that are perched on the cliffs and
tucked into the crannies of the hills around town.

For sure, Mulegena...a lot of photo ops back there on those trails, including the interesting Chinese cemetery.

Ok Nomads, this is where our collective ears pick up...
"What Chinese cemetery, Pompano?"

Bob..I have lots of Candil photos. Here's a couple old ones of a friend walking outside the place, a route he
took almost every day for many years.
Cypress...I have some photos of that place, too..and will try manana to put them here. Ciao. |
I remember him walking by El Candil while I was sitting there sipping a margie. He would feel along the green window frames as he walked by.
Sometimes pausing to take a break.
Thanks for the memories.

Yes, a habit of many walks. Indeed he was a remarkable Baja icon and good friend for so many years in Mulege. Just
another good reason why Mulege is so special.
So glad I have this original watercolor of him to bring back the memories.
Rest in peace..y via con Dios, amigo.
Here's a lot younger version...
...but we were BOTH a lot younger back then.
The building he is standing in front of is the old Mulege post office. Nowadays it is Ruben's Farmacia ..across from the town square.

Here's my last image of "Rudolfo" (was that his name) walking across the street from El Candil along that old building over there. Probably 5 years
ago. Bob H

My avatar...most everyone who has spent time in Mulege over the last 50 years knows of this fine old character. He has passed from the scene now, but
his memory lives on.
I knew him for many years as Rudolfo..but that's a private joke on me. His real name is/was Adolfo and here is a thread about him..and his
passing:

John & Sue..now THERE was a pair of kooks! I best let Capt Mike or you describe them in better detail. I know I have a few photos of them in
their sky-bar above Sam's Place and Donna Moe's Pizza. I will search my morgue for them to unearth the pair.

BJ & Sue
If there ever were two Space Cadets destined for each other, it was those two! Nice people but totally wasted all the time... forever!!! My
remembrance of Sue was when she was skinny dipping in front of Geary's at Burro. Gives me the shivers just to conger up that image!!! Darn. Now
I'll have to take a lap around a rosary!!
Cheers and bring on the brew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
